Kessel Run supports the U.S. Air Force by developing, fielding, and operating mission-critical warfighting applications that must remain available and mission-capable 24/7/365 in highly contested environments. The Air Operations Center (AOC) Weapon System is a complex command-and-control system-of-systems requiring a comprehensive strategy for platform, infrastructure, and application integrations across diverse hardware, software, third-party applications, and web services. That strategy must address maintaining, upgrading, and securing a heterogeneous environment while ensuring interoperability with other Department of War systems. The program emphasizes GOTS and COTS solutions to expedite integration and deployment, and the AOC WS program office relies heavily on third-party providers for mission application development and sustainment. Additional information is available in the attached files.
